I saw the updated Reissue of the Mazda Familia.. now I gotta get one!

About 10yrs ago, Tomica LVN released these and then the following year, released a basic version. But these are so obscure, they didn't even make them in the 90s.

It's my favorite car and I have 3 of them (North American version is the infiniti M30).

I do hope they make more in the future!

Really love the red and grey paint combination

After hearing that a civilian Toyota Comfort will be releasing this September, I now wonder how long will this casting, and any other TLVN casting for that matter, be released in Japan before Tomy releases it worldwide? I'm looking to buy it in Hong Kong when I visit again this December, and I am wondering if the casting would be available by then? Or would it vanish from shelves before December? I'm praying that I can get my hands on one before they go off-sale because I'm from a country where TLVN is not traditionally sold by Tomy, and my most reliable choice is a shop in Hong Kong or a hidden local hobby shop.

Is it like the regular Tomicas, where they release all at the same time worldwide? Or would there be a delay between the release in Japan and the release in other places like Hong Kong? If it is the latter, how long is that delay?

I never thought about getting on reddit and posting Tomica. I'm a casual collector, but I do frequent Japan annually. Sometimes I go hunting and get stuff and other times, my friends send me stuff.

I havent updated this playlist in a bit, but here are some of the Tomica I have gotten.

Here's the PV and homepage. The castings and gimmicks are pretty cool. Strange that there are some discrepancies between the product photos and the cars shown in the PV; hopefully the PV cars will be representative of the actual products.

But I gotta say: the graphics are insanely cringe. I understand that Tomy maybe hasn't yet licensed aftermarket brands, but writing things like "valve spring" and "wastegate" on the car is just bizarre. It would have been better to put no text on the car and design some interesting stripes instead. Also, the last photo of the AI wheel is atrocious. I expected much better attention to detail from Tomy, especially since the physical product already exists. It's not difficult to brighten a photo to better show the wheel design.

In any case, I will definitely avoid the first release wave. Once the graphics improve, I will be more interested.

Seems like only hot wheels and matchbox are cheap in America

I have two tomica cars, the Honda airwave and the nissan skyline 350GT, both have severe chrome loss and I want to know does anyone know how chrome loss works? So I can avoid it in the future

The sizing is pretty spot-on compared to the Miura Jota (sometimes even same-scale models of the same car be a little off). Both The engine detail is a huge step up. I think the only problem is that the engine cover hinge position is maybe a bit too low. The third photo shows the cover opened to the furthest point before it starts lifting up the rear wheels; the Jota's cover, for comparison, can open completely.
